Hi,

Is it possible to optimize geometry using DFT-D3?
If so, could you be so kind to give an example?

Geometry optimizations within DFT Gaussian basis set module can be done for all DFT functionals.

dft
disp vdw 3
end

task dft optimize

It seems to me that it's not working. In the following code geometry and energy are the same in the presence and absence of "disp vdw 3".

start nw
charge 0
geometry   
 He      0.00000000000000   0.00000000000000  -1.40439630000000  
 He      0.00000000000000   0.00000000000000   1.40439630000000  
end 
basis spherical
 * library cc-pvtz
end 
dft 
 cgmin 
 xc m06-2x
 disp vdw 3
end 
driver 
 clear 
 TIGHT
 eprec   1e-06
 maxiter 2000
end 
task DFT optimize

cgmin and dispersion
Please remove cgmin. This convergence algorithm in the released version does not properly handle dispersion. This will be fixed in our next release, which will be very shortly.
